1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The chicken genome comprises 78 chromosomes which include several macrochromosomes and many microchromosomes. Very little information is currently available concerning chicken centromere structure and function and it is unclear if the two types of chromosomes share a common centromere mechanism or whether this mechanism resembles those in other species. Immunofluorescence studies using antibodies to mammalian constitutive centromere proteins CENP-A, CENP-B, and CENP-C and the passenger proteins CENP-E, and CENP-F revealed the presence of each of these proteins at the centromeres of both macro- and microchromsomes. CENP-A, CENP-B, and CENP-E levels showed variability between metaphase centromeres while CENP-C and CENP-F levels were relatively constant. These results suggest a common centromere mechanism for both types of chromosomes as well as indicating a high degree of conservation of individual proteins between widely divergent vertebrate classes and an overall conservation of centromere function throughout vertebrate evolution.
